Its comming down to the wire for me, and i need to get some rubber on my 18"s by july 29th.. All my local tire places have quoted me anywhere from 800++ for 4 tires installed out the door... I had the Kuhmo 712's on my 17"s and i didn't care for them at all and the Nankang NS-2's.. all garbage..
So within my budget here is what i have found suitable, but not sure which to get....
BF Goodrich G-force Sports.. UTQG 340 AA / A... $121 ( Hard as hell to find a place in stock with them)
Dunlop Direzza DZ101.. UTQG 300 A / A ... $109
Kumho ECSTA SPT.. UTQG 320 AA / A... $ 85
Yokohama Parada Spec-2 .. UTQG 300 AA / A $ 126
They are going on my 18" Hyper black Motegi DPK's
I am open to other suggestions, but I want something with a UTQG rating 300 up, and the side wall having a rim lip protector. But tires shipped cannot be more than $550, since i am going to have another $120 install fee. Damn low pro's...
Thanks in advance...
How about these?
They will run in the $140 each range, but the treadwear rating is 400. I had a set of these tires on my stock 16's and loved them. Very grippy tire from my experience with them.

heh...what brand are they btw? If i can get enough funds to buy a set in the $140 range it will be the G-force t/a KDW's hands down. It all depends on my job and how many hours they will be giving me.
D'oh! I forgot to add that they are the Pirelli P Zero Nero M+S tires.
I also have the Pirelli pzero nero m+s and love them. They're good stuff. Very grippy and the ride is good. I have them on my 18's.
I just had the Kumho KU21 installed on my car on friday and I'm happy with them so far even though they are a all season tire. I got them for $160/each (canadian) mounted/balanced. Pretty sticky and have nice real deep tread on them. Havent tried them at high speed in the rain yet but I'm sure I'll be happy with them in the wet as well. I wanted something good in the dry which they are and wet and had long tread life. I dont want to buy tires every year or two for my new 18's I just had installed on friday. Check out the link. Let me know if you want some pictures of the tread. I can take some tonight.
Also you can take a look at the tires on my car in my pic post.

Regards,
I have the kuhmo ecsta 215/45/17 and I like them so far.
Check out the Cooper Zeon 2xs. I just got some through my local tire guy for cheap money. They are 280 AA - A . All the specs are the same as the Yokohama Avid ES100, but the tread looks better.
Something doesn't make sense.
Yokohama Parada Spec-2 .. UTQG 300 AA / A $ 126
Those were the most expensive tires in your post.
4 of those tires is $504. Probably about $15 per tire for balance.
That comes out to $564. So, lets say about $600 to $620 after tax.. where are they gettings $800 from?
